Summary
Join Us in France Travel Podcast
In this episode Elyse takes us on a trip to the wonderful world of Champagne. She tells us about the history of the Champagne Region (part of the "Grand Est" Region in France) and how monasteries played a big part in it. There were some lucky breaks and the English helped things along. Dom Perignon is the one who came up with a great solution to an age-old problem, and thankfully, we all benefit today. A consommer avec modération, most of the time anyway. It's all in today's episode! Subscribe and listen!
